Methods of Fixing Foundation Problems

How can you fix your foundation problems? Groundworks offers two main methods of fixing foundation concerns, with a variety of options that can help you permanently. 

Foundation Repair and Reinforcement

Whether you have a basement or not, there may be times where your foundation itself has sinking or settling concerns. In this situation, you may need to boost the foundation from underneath. Your local foundation repair professionals provide multiple fixes to help you boost the actual foundation itself. 

Wall Repair and Reinforcement

The second method of foundation repairs is wall repair and reinforcement. Specifically, this comes into play when you have a basement that’s having foundation concerns. That can often turn into bowed basement walls, which you may need to reinforce. Your local foundation repair professionals offer three different methods of wall repair and reinforcement in this situation. 

We get it right the first time, every time, and our solutions are built to last.

FAQs About Foundation Repair

No, DIY foundation repairs won’t fix your foundation problems. Foundation problems run much deeper than the surface, so you need specialized equipment and expertise.

Yes, foundation problems are pretty much always serious. Your home’s foundation supports every other element of the home, so without a strong, stable foundation, your home is at risk of collapse. That’s why it’s so important to fix every foundation problem as soon as you’ve uncovered it.

Yes, foundation problems are not something that you can just leave alone. When you start to see basement floor cracks and other signs of foundation issues, that means you’ve caught the problem early—which is great! But you need to address the problem to stop them from turning into even more serious issues.

Foundation repairs aren’t always covered by homeowner’s insurance, but you should contact your provider to make sure. Every Groundworks company offers affordable financing with reliable warranties, but read our guide on homeowner’s insurance for foundation repairs for more in-depth information.

Foundation Repair Is Easier Than You’d Think with an Expert 

One of the reasons many people worry about foundation repair is because they’re concerned it’ll be difficult. This is an understandable fear, but when you have the help of an expert, it’s not that scary. You can schedule your free inspection with Groundworks today and learn firsthand how important it is to have an expert along for the ride.

I highly recommend Groundworks! I was concerned with cracks found near my front and back door, so I scheduled a free inspection. Jonathan Falcone arrived on time and was pleasant and professional. He inspected the foundation of my home and gave an honest assessment of the cracks, which were caused by minimal shifting. I was relieved to learn there’s no need for any work. If you have concerns about a potentially shifting foundation, a no-risk call to Groundworks will help give peace of mind.

We had a great experience with JES Foundation Repair. Communication was great and all three gentlemen that we worked with were so professional and great to work with. We first had Manuel C. come to the house and he did a great job explaining the process and answering all our questions. The two gentlemen that completed the job were Bryan R. and Austin H., they explained the process as well and did an amazing job. Would definitely recommend!

We had Groundworks correct a foundation problem in our 28-yr-old house, and install a foundation drain with sump and pump. The engineering (Jerry) and the crew (Mkoma, Waldo, Quaid and Joshua) were excellent and very professional. Mkoma provided regular updates, they all kept to promised arrival/departure times, and even finished the work on-budget and under the quoted time frame. The drain and pump perform well. Very satisfied with all aspects of their work and customer service.

Thank you to regional manager Chris Backus, GM Tommy Chechel, Senior field supervisor Dominic, Senior inspector Benjamin Slade and installer Jose and crew. Groundworks recently installed their triple sump system with battery back up. The installation was facilitated by Mr. Backus and Mr. Chechel, the job was completed by Jose in a timely fashion and supervised by Dominic. Workers were on time, took precautions with drop cloths etc, did the installation and cleaned up afterwards. The system works flawlessly and affords peace of mind with the back up. I highly recommend Groundworks and will continue to use them in the future.
